A Dukes of Hazzard car ramp as a model of urban development

A Dukes of Hazzard car ramp as a model of urban developmentArchitect Tiago Barras has seen the future of public roadways, and said future resembles a moonshine-fueled car chase. As part of his whimsical High-Speed Car Ramp design, the designer suggests adding a jump ramp to Lisbon's Segunda Circular highway.

"A new tourist attraction takes place. The arrival of this new catalyst will foster the redevelopment of the whole region," promises Barras. Before anyone takes this too seriously, know that Barras' website also has a write-up for an exposed spherical balloon cloud to carry passengers lazily across the North American continent
